La Veta, Colorado (United States of America) - "Wild Wahatoya Runs". Come join us to run through a magical part of history in the Cuchara Valley. The Spanish Peaks of Southern Colorado have been among the most important landmarks of the southwestern United States, guiding Native American tribes, Spanish and French trappers, gold seekers, hunters, and American settlers. The Ute, Comanche, Apache, and other, earlier Native American tribes held the peaks in religious awe and named the mountains Wahatoya, meaning “Breasts of the Earth.” Our event will be pairing with both the town of La Veta and Cuchara to help them celebrate their annual October Fest. We will have a 50K, heavy half marathon, and 8ish mile event. The 50K will start in the town of La Veta, wrap itself through the middle of the town, onto a rugged out-of-commission county road with sweeping views of the dikes, buttes, and mountains in the surrounding areas. You will end on newly reopened and maintained trails that guide you straight into town ending with a festival at the Cuchara Yacht Club. The heavy half and 8 mile will start on private property, take on the Dike trail and some other local favorites, to end back under the arch at the Yacht Club to join the party. We will be partnering with the local brewer to provide finish line beers, and other local businesses to provide five-star accommodations, live music from local talent, and great food. All course profiles and GPX files are released on the race website! www.trailtrashadventures.com/races/event-one-gzzml
